An Incomplete List of Parallel Processors Efforts

Introduction
Over the years there has been an amazing number of of parallel computing efforts, will billions of dollars invested so far in R&D. There have been some bright spots for application specific parallel processors with limited programmability, but the success rate of general purpose parallel programmable processors is an approximate 0%. I compiled the the following list to stay sober regarding our own chances to succeed as a parallel processor company.  It shows most of the past, present, and future commercial efforts  in parallel computing. Please leave a comment if you have a correction or if you can help fill out some of the missing efforts.
